Ming Dynasty

     Ming dynasty was Ancient China so I know my place was a civilization. They way you know a place is a civilization is if it has all 6 traits. Like technology, arts, social structure, food supply, government, and writing. So ancient china has all of this and I would like to tell you about it.

    The first is technology this is how most people get around in the world. Ancient china had a lot of inventions. Like gun powder which we don’t use now days but got us a long way. Ancient china had enough inventions to fill up a book. One that we use today is the compass which gives us direction to go places and for maps. That’s just a few inventions and there are a lot more from ancient china

    Ancient china had a lot of arts. They made a lot of designs and put them on pots. And if you ever heard the saying “I’m going to pull out my good china” that’s where it came from china. A lot of there traditions and cultures comes in there art. Every where in china they have art now ada's and back then.That's the arts in Ancient China.

    Now its there government. Ancient China has an IE government which is ruled by government and family. They think a good government is a government that governs lease. Ming dynasty emperor had a lot of of. Which at that time wasn’t irregular. Emperors always got over ruled those days. There government wasn’t  really active but there emperors was.

    Now there is there stable food supp lie. Ancient china ate a lot of things. They identified ingredients to deep fry. Of course there is Rice me myself I love fried rice. There is all sorts of food from Chinese that you cant just keep writing down. So I don’t need to keep telling u about it.

   Now it’s there social structure. Ever social structure is like a pyramid. Ancient Chinese social structure went like this. That is there social structure which is a little different then ours presant day but is how it worked.

Shi – Gentry Scholars, 

Nong – Peasant Farmers

Shang – Merchants and Traders

    Now ancient chinese religion. Ancient china had alot of  religion types. Such as Buddhism buddah is a man who isnt from china. Christianity which is most common in the united states. and the one i dont like is Communists those are people who do not believe in religion and everything is science.Those where the religion in ancient china.

     Last characteristic is there writning. (jiaguwen) which were found at the site of the last Shang capital near present-day Anyang, Henan province. At first language was just pictures of people and animals now it has evolved. Chinese writing is so populor people put it on there body. Ancient chinese writing was important now and then,

   Im glad u have been on this journey with me through the project. Ming dynasty was my anitial place but i did the rest of my research on ancient china. Which still worked on most of my paragraphs. It still is a grate place and i always wanted to go. And now i have to go.
